Chapter 347: The Meaning of Life
Niniro readily agreed to Eckhart's truce, everyone is smart, and the key to the success or failure of this time is not Querofe, but the result of the game in Viva Castle!
The chaos caused by the ancestors in Querofi is nothing more than to force Viscount Moron to dispatch Eckhart and the Guards Legion to achieve the purpose of reducing the garrison of Villa Castle, as for Niniro and the others staying in Quirofi, they need to delay the suppression of Eckhart and the Guards to prevent the other party from returning to Via Castle, and now Eckhart is willing to stay in Querofi and wait for the outcome of the incident with them, so that they have no reason to continue fighting.
Eckhart believed that Viscount Moron would win, and Niniro and Sean also believed that Enoch could successfully assassinate Viscount Moronne, so it turned into a battle of confidence between the two.
Although Eckhart is sure to completely destroy the forces of Querofi's ancestors, once the two sides continue to fight, the result will inevitably cause a large number of casualties, and the most important thing is that Querofi's current status quo does not allow Eckhart to waste time on this kind of meaningless confrontation, and every time the suppression drags on, the situation in Querofi becomes more and more miserable.
The doctrine of the Shining Sanctuary is to advocate the human ideal of truth, goodness and beauty, after countless years of inheritance and development, the Shining Sanctuary has long become a significant force in the political and military level of Eldran, once any organization is over-expanded, it cannot escape the essential change, but even if the Shining Sanctuary is dark and filthy inside, at least the believers who truly believe in and follow the teachings of the Shining Sanctuary still exist, as the famous guardian knight of the Radiant Sanctuary, Eckhart is such a devout believer.
"Since you agreed with my mention. Can you order your men to restrain the rioters in the city who are causing chaos? "The negotiations were successful. Eckhart said immediately.
"I'm sorry. We can't control the people who cause chaos and killing, because these people are not our people. Niniro spread her hands and said she couldn't help.
"They're not your people?" Eckhart frowned.
Niniro understood what the other man meant, and why those thugs had followed their orders to cause the current situation in Querofi if they were not their people, and she had no choice but to pout, "These people are just a bunch of poor fools who have been instigated by our demagoguery. β
"So, whatever I do with them, you won't have any problem with them?" Eckhart said in a deep voice.
"Of course." Niniro said unconcernedly. "It's just that I hope you will still abide by our agreement after disposing of them!"
"Not a single Templar is a treacherous person." Eckhart said.
"But don't forget, even the purest group will have one or two scum, such as the once famous renegade knight of the Radiant Sanctuary, Calagonis!" Niniro said with a smile.
"But he paid the price of betrayal with his death!" Eckhart said.
Karagunis, a Templar of the Radiant Templar's fame fifty-three years ago. He originally had the supreme light, and was even crowned as the Holy Son for a time, and everyone thought that he would become the pope of the next generation of the Radiant Sanctuary, but who knew that one day he suddenly betrayed the Radiant Sanctuary and threw himself into the arms of the sworn enemy to subvert the fangs, as a result, Karagunis, who was familiar with the many secrets of the Radiant Sanctuary, caused the power controlled by the Radiant Sanctuary to suffer a comprehensive heavy blow at once, although he eventually died at the hands of the director of the Inquisition of the Radiant Sanctuary, but because of the sudden changes he caused, the Radiant Sanctuary has not been restored to its former supreme glory!
Why did a small country like Sessinia on the edge of Elderland allow the lofty Glorious Sanctuary to step behind the scenes? In a way, Sissinia is just one of the victims of the Radiant Templar's ongoing efforts to revive its past glory.
The streets of Querofi were littered with rubble of corpses, blood seeping into the ground darker and redder, and the haunting glow of the fire reflected the groups facing each other at either end, each clenching their weapons in their hands. There was a fierce wariness in his eyes, even though an armistice was reached. But the death of the companion made the two never forgive each other, and the blood debt can only be paid in blood!
Eckhart raised his hand and summoned an officer, and after whispering a few words, the officer suddenly stared at the group of black-robed people opposite him with an angry expression, and then led the remaining knights of the Guards Legion to leave for the rest of the city of Quirofi to prepare for the suppression!
Niniro looked at the departure of the Guards, and gazed with interest at Eckhart, who was standing alone in the middle of the street, and said, "Your Excellency Eckhart, is it really good to let them go?" Aren't you afraid that we will attack you in violation of the agreement? I know you may look down on our strength, but even the strongest people will have times when they are exhausted, and you alone cannot compete with a group! β
"You're right! But I'm sure you won't go back on our agreement! Eckhart said calmly, and out of the corner of his eye, he didn't forget to glance at Sai'an beside her: "If I'm not wrong, you're not a member of the ancestors!" β
Niniro let out a "huh" and said in surprise: "How do you see this?" β
"From the way you have behaved so far." Eckhart said.
"Tsk...... I suddenly felt that you had the temperament of a patriarch. Nini Luo admired in her mouth, but in fact, she was sarcastically mocking the other party for being a god stick.
"This lady, I want to ask you a question, why do you want to help the ancestors to discuss the poor innocent people of Querofi?" Eckhart ignored Niniro's sarcastic rhetoric.
"I have my reasons, but I've never hurt the people here with malicious intent." Niniro's face was straight.
"Although you have no intention, hundreds of people in Querofe have died because of your family!" Eckhart said.
"What? Are you judging me, Your Excellency? Niniro's eyes flashed with a cold light, narrowing slightly. Don't impose on me the teachings of your Shining Temple, not everyone will follow your hypocrisy! β
"I have no right to judge anyone, and I have not instilled in you the idea of Templar doctrine." Eckhart said in a deep voice, "The purpose of what I said to you is only to make you intervene with me to quell the tragic situation in Querofi!" β
"Haha......"
Niniro burst out laughing as if she had heard a big joke, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, pointed the dagger in her hand at Eckhart, and said, "You are going to cooperate with each other after the armistice has just been reached?" Are you too naΓ―ve and pedantic? Don't forget the identity of our enemies! β
"Looks like you've refused." Eckhart shook his head, looking around at the desolate ruins, in front of the burned houses, the bustling and noisy scene still lingered in the memory of the not-too-distant past, the enthusiastic voices of merchants and hawkers, the cheerful play of children, and the chatter of the citizens were all buried in the black smoke of the fire.
One by one, the lives were gone.
Familiar and unfamiliar faces dimmed.
And they are just innocent and poor victims of the behind-the-scenes power conspiracy between the two forces, they are weak at the bottom and are like domestic animals to be slaughtered, the strong survive, and the weak perish, ah! What a ridiculous yet bloody reality!
All human beings are born unequal, should they be treated differently by birth? Why is the world so twisted? What is the meaning of human existence? Is it just to hurt each other?
Eckhart had been thinking about these questions ever since he entered the Radiant Sanctuary as a noble Templar.
He once thought that he could solve these problems with a sword, so he was given the title of "Blood Cross", but the more blood was stained on his hands, the more confused he became.
At some point, "mercy" appeared in the power of his faith, a secret he did not tell anyone, and once he thought through the problems that were bothering him, the door to the FerNu Law would be completely open for him.
He decided on one thing.
After the mission order of the assistant viscount Moronne was over, he planned to follow the example of the Templar ascetics and start his solo journey, as he hoped to find answers to these questions along the way. (To be continued......)
